Mayo Clinic Primary Biliary Cholangitis (Cirrhosis), sequential data

Description

This data is a continuation of the PBC data set (pbc), and contains the follow-up laboratory data for each study patient. An analysis based on the data can be found in Murtagh et al. (1994).

The primary PBC data set contains only baseline measurements of the laboratory paramters. This data set contains multiple laboratory results, but only on the 312 randomized patients. Some baseline data values in this file differ from the original PBC file, for instance, the data errors in prothrombin time and age which were discovered after the orignal analysis (see Fleming and Harrington, 1991, figure 4.6.7).
